Per ESPN article about the new league rules

LINK



This is absolutely bonkers. The Rooney Rule (the worst rule in professionalism anywhere) has already been a huge failure leading to lawsuits, faux interviews, and disagreements. This is only worse imo. Forcing teams to hire somebody ONLY because the color of their skin. And this role REQUIRES direct contact with the HC and offensive duties, because the NFL is trying to ride the trend that young offensive guys are getting HC jobs.

Realistically this is ridiculous. How far does the NFL have to coddle a certain group of individuals before they’ve had enough without getting the results they want and just put black head coaches in place on their own. Why even keep up the facade anymore. Just say “hey New England, your new HC is [insert random black guy] deal with it”

What a ridiculous precedent the world is becoming. Kids growing up are going to think it’s normal for some people to have advantages in life because of skin color, sexual orientation, etc.

im still waiting on that rule that forces all teams to have the exact racial makeup of census numbers for the states they are in. no more majority black teams, you have to have 60% of whites as starters. if you dont like it, then all racial requirements of any kind must be done away with

This is pretty pathetic and racist. The white coaches and players should bring a lawsuit.

The only thing that might save the NFL in court would be the fact that a league-wide fund is being used to pay this assistant coach.

At the end of the day, we the fans are paying for it.

Even non fans that don’t like sports of any kind are paying for everything.

TV contracts support the NFL.

We the people support TV networks and cable tv

And to prove the NFL wrong, every team should hire a Mexican. Go down to Home Depot, you could fill all 32 team slots in 10 minutes.

We should have illegitimate, minority, transsexual coaches; it only seems logical.

Easy, hire a 22 year old white female to fetch coffee for the HC and the Offensive staff.

quote:

The coach can be "a female or a member of an ethnic or racial minority," according to the policy adopted by NFL owners during their annual meeting, and will be paid from a league-wide fund. The coach must work closely with the head coach and the offensive staff, with the goal of increasing minority participation in the pool of offensive coaches that eventually produces the most sought-after candidates for head-coaching positions.

This is 2022 people. Why do we allow Roger to have the NFL take a step in reverse? Leave your dang politics at home Roger. The rest of the world don't see it like you.
May the best man win PERIOD

That is the lawsuit against the NFL should say. In the fantasy world if anyone actually had the stones to do it.

Quit watching. I know I watch alot less football than I used to. I love to bet the games but I don't need to watch them to make decisions on it. I know how that game is played.

Yeah because that’s never been the case before

If this is true that they must hire a black candidate it will back fire and be counter productive but if you thinks it’s been 100% meritocracy before you are kidding yourself
